White Chili with Chicken and Poblano Peppers

A deliciously comforting, simple, flavorful, White Chili with Chicken and Poblano Peppers recipe that can be made quickly for a weeknight meal or busy night. White Chili with Chicken and Poblano Peppers is a little more on the new side with our family menu.

I wanted to make something hearty but different when it came to Chili to enjoy on chilly Florida nights, believe it or not here in Central Florida we get a few shortly after the last week of October. So this wonderful comforting pot of White Chili with Chicken and Poblano Peppers is perfect for this time of year.

When I decided to make my recipe for White Chili with Chicken and Poblano Peppers, I decided to use White Northern Beans, boneless and skinless Chicken Breasts, Poblano peppers, Jalapeno peppers, red onions, Mexican-style seasonings, and top it off with a few of my all-time favorites such as Cilantro, Scallions, Sour Cream, and a few Lime wedges.

Surprisingly my family loved the recipe that night and we have been rotating it on our fall menu ever since. Not bad for a recipe I came up within 2014…The rest is history. I hope you and your family enjoy this simple recipe as much as I have over the years.

Hi, Shelly, Yes I believe that day I was making this I kind of got sidetracked a little longer than I planned. You can definitely cook it longer. Turn it way-way down to lowest heat setting and you will have the same creamy texture.
